In Pine, how do I enable or disable the Pipe to Unix command?

Note: Pine is not available on any central UITS systems. UITS does not support the use of Pine at Indiana University.

Note: The software discussed here is no longer in common use at Indiana University, and UITS may no longer be able to verify the document's accuracy. The UITS Support Center may no longer have the manuals and other materials required to support this software adequately.

In Pine, the Pipe to Unix command lets you output the contents of messages and attachments to Unix commands. Normally, you use this command by pressing  |  (the pipe key) from an index, text, or viewer screen. If this does not work for you, or if you want to disable the Pipe to Unix command:

  1. Go to the Main Menu. From most screens, you can do this by typing  m .

  2. Press  s  for Setup, and then  c  for Config.

  3. In the Setup Configuration menu, use your arrow keys to move to "enable-unix-pipe-cmd". Then press  x  to either enable or disable the command.

  4. Press  x  for Exit Config, and then press  y  to save your change.
